Kevin Bostian was named in 2010 as the Associate Athletics
Director for Development at Tennessee Tech University. A native of
Durham, N.C., Bostian was on the staff at East Tennessee State
University for nearly seven years before taking his new position
with the Golden Eagles.

Bostian, 35, oversees all of the development efforts for
athletics, working to maintain current levels and to generate
increased support for Tech Athletics.

Bostian came to Tech after three years as Assistant Athletic
Director, Corporate Development and Regional Athletic Advancement.
He served two years prior to that as Director of Corporate Sales,
Marketing and Regional Athletic Advancement for Buccaneer
Athletics. He was also Marketing, Promotions, Merchandise and
Licensing Coordinator for two years.

Bostian’s primary responsibilities at ETSU included
obtaining corporate partnerships for the athletic department and
the Buccaneer Sports Network, which increased revenue by 90 during
that period. Bostian also was responsible for fundraising for the
Buccaneer Athletic Scholarship Association (BASA). His
responsibilities also included the BASA regional satellite clubs
and events, and the BASA All-Sports Golf Tournament, which
increased revenue over 100 percent in the last three years.

Enhancing the Golden Eagle student-athlete experience is a
primary focus for the TTU Athletics staff, and will be one of
Bostian’s goals.

“The student-athlete experience is important and
student-athletes are the reason we do what we do. There are a
number of things that can be done through fundraising to help
enhance the student-athlete experience, especially through new and
renovated facilities,” he said. “Fundraising for a
new Student-Athlete Center is a major focus along with a new
Indoor/Outdoor Tennis facility. These facilities will help
our programs compete at an even higher level. With the recent
completion of the new Athletic Performance Center, our coaches have
these additional resources with which to recruit prospective new
student-athletes.”

Bostian earned a Master of Business Administration (MBA) and
Master of Sports Administration (MSA) from Ohio University in 2002.
He earned his B.S. in Business Management from North Carolina State
University in 2000.

Prior to his seven years at ETSU, Bostian was Marketing
Coordinator for the Gwinnett Sports Commission in Atlanta,
Georgia. While with the Gwinnett Sports Commission, he
assisted with bringing sporting events to Gwinnett County,
including the Adidas All-America Men’s Basketball Camp and
Adidas Top 10 Women’s Basketball Camp.

Bostian has also worked as a Marketing Coordinator at the
University of South Alabama, Media Relations Assistant at the 2003
NCAA Men’s Final Four in New Orleans, the 2000 ACC
Men’s Basketball Tournament, and the 2000 Adidas Roundball
Classic along with internships with the Cleveland Cavaliers,
Cleveland Browns and Durham Bulls.

Bostian is married to the former Megan McGraw, and have three
daughters, Ayla (6), Zoe (4), and Piper Grace (born Aug. 12,
2014).
